    The tour was brilliant and this was mainly due to the tour guide. khan was amazing, he was extremely friendly and had a brilliant sense of humour. He really brought the tour to life by cramming in as much information as he could. Khan was a terrific tour guide and made the experience excellent.

    All the walking. And. Your guided English was terrible too much of the same thing Did not know we had so much walking. And felt it was to take us to restaurants.

  • 23-Aug-2023

    The historical beginnings of both towns. The mulicultual roots evident in the architecture. Beautiful.

  • 22-Aug-2023

    Excellent tour guide Khan and two amazing historical cities. Well worth the money and a good amount of time in both Toledo and Segovia.

  • 21-Aug-2023

    Toledo panoramic view point. Segovia aqueduct and Avila walls. Would be good if the Toledo cathedral visit (inside) was included in the package

  • 21-Aug-2023

    This was a great tour! There was plenty of walking and stairs where if you have any mobility challenges you may have difficulties. Our guides, Kahn & Cynthia, along with driver Juan Pablo were excellent guides. They were thorough in the history of both cities and entertained every question any of us asked. The highlight of our trip was the amazing aqueduct in Segovia - the history behind it and how recently it was in use!

  • 20-Aug-2023

    Great tour. Rodrigo our guide was the best. Very engaging. Wish we had more time though to see the cathedrals and museums but overall a good tour to see the highlights of Toledo and Segovia.

  • 19-Aug-2023

    Rodrigo was an amazing guide. We were going to try to tackle Toledo and Segovia on our own and would have missed so much! From his extensive knowledge of the Jewish Quarters of both towns to his knowledge of the churches, history and architecture of each area was way beyond what we could’ve appreciated on our own. Great tour!!

    The views in Toledo were breathtaking and the guide was funny and knowledgeable. The trip was done in perfect time. My only regret was not having enough time to pick up souvenirs in both locations. The lunch spot suggested in Segovia, St. Bernardino was perfect.
